<p>I really want to go here, but how is the engineering program. I live in Illinois and I know u of i has one of the top engineering programs but I really don't want to stay in Illinois. So how is Rice for Engineering and should i just go to u of i engineering? It would be smart just to go to u of i and save some money, but I really don't want to.</p>
<p>Rice has an excellent engineering department. What do you plan on majoring in specifically?</p>
<p>I want to go into electrical engineering (electronics).</p>
<p>I’m from Illinois as well, and I’m so glad that I am at Rice. That said, student life was a much bigger factor for me than the ranking of the engineering school. Rice is much, much smaller than U of I, and therefore I feel much more at home.</p>
